Rain, Rain and More Rain

It’s been a pretty rainy summer so far but the last few days have set records

I don’t mind rain, especially when it falls at night but when it comes down in buckets during the day and day after day, it starts to get depressing. Today I think we set a record for the 5th highest day for accumulation in the last 100 years. Luckily our basement stayed dry but many people weren’t as lucky and to top it off the power went off across the city. We only had to endure an outage for 1 1/2 hours but my daughter was without power for over 6 hours. For awhile our backyard looked like a lake but when I got around to taking photos there were only a few puddles left.

Sunday Trees – The Decay Continues

thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees https://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2024/07/14/sunday-trees-542/

Every year I take a picture of this tree that I pass on my way to the beach. There is very little left.

Pull Up a Seat or Not

thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2024/07/12/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2024-week-28/

Sometimes seats aren’t meant to be sat on and in order to ensure that people don’t plant themselves on antique chairs, the owner put teasels on the seat. This was the case at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London.

This place is well worth a visit and if you do have mobility issues there are special chair where you can sit down.
